A model 1883 Japanese Naval officer sword. The blade is generally in pretty good condition. The leather washer is in place at the top of the sword. The leather scabbard has scuffs and wear, and the gilt on the scabbard fittings and on the sword handle, guard, and back strap is well preserved. The ray skin grip is intact, as is its wire wrapping. The reverse of the sword guard folds down and locks in place. The sword retains a complete sword knot.
